Kirsten Dunst doesn't have fond memories of her first kiss, insisting her smooch with Brad Pitt in Interview With The Vampire was "disgusting".
The Bring It On star was just 11 years old when she played Claudia, a woman trapped in a young girl's body, in the film, and locking lips with one of the world's sexiest men was not an experience to remember.
While Dunst admits many of her schoolmates were jealous of her onscreen romance with PItt, but she wasn't that impressed.
She tells Bullet magazine, "I remember Brad would watch lots of Real World episodes. He had this long hair. He was just a hippie-ish cool dude. Everyone at the time was like, 'You're so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt,' but I thought it was disgusting. I didn't kiss anyone else until I was 16, I think."

In honor of Earth Day, we're rounding up some of the most innovative, eco-inspired homes in the world. Homes that are sustainable, smart, and environmentally conscious. Homes that make energy, instead of using it. (We'd like that gas bill, please!) Homes that will blow your mind.
Although this list certainly includes some futuristic designs (like rotating houses) and multi-million-dollar price tags, most use materials and ideas that you could easily implement in your own "green home" upgrades:
zeroHouse 1 of 25zeroHouse is a pre-fab home (which can be yours for $350,000) that's designed to be completely self-sufficient — meaning there's no outside utilities needed. zeroHouse produces power through solar panels and stores it in batteries, collects its own water, and it even turns your waste into compost. Plus, all of these functions work with automatic sensors that can be controlled through your laptop. Believe it or not, that's just the beginning of this feature-packed eco dream.

Hong Kong Space Saver (aka The Domestic Transformer) 2 of 25This video of an itty bitty Hong Kong apartment went viral by nature of its sheer innovation. Architect Gary Chang took a 330-square-foot apartment (typical in jam-packed Hong Kong) and installed sliding walls to create 24 different living configurations. Chang also used sunlight-tinted windows, reflective metals, and mirrored surfaces to: A) create the illusion of more space, and B) eliminate
artificial lights.
See the full video at World's Greenest Homes (PlanetGreen.com)
The Dome House 3 of 25The International Dome House Co. builds these eco-minded prefab buildings that can be used as homes, offices — anything, really. The shape alone saves energy (better circulation), makes it structurally stable, and helps dissipate wind energy. Plus they're built from expanded polystyrene, which is an extremely clean material that requires no deforestation or waste.
Read more about the Dome House
The Orchid House 4 of 25Located on a nature reserve in England, this 2400 square-ft. house is part of a green home building project called Lower Mill Estate (that specializes in building "sustainable vacation homes"), and it caught some buzz as being the most expensive "green home" ever sold at $14.2 million. Its eco-features include a geothermal heating underground pump that promises to generate more energy than it consumes.
See more eco-friendly homes from Lower Mill Estate
Athena Marie Plantation 5 of 25The Athena Marie Plantation on Florida's North Hutchinson Island set the record for the largest green home built in the U.S., at 45,760 square feet. It was also the first in the U.S. to use wind-powered electric turbines on its roof, and the first Florida home to use 100% renewable energy. It may be an over-the-top extravagance, but it makes a statement.
Source: Green Cities Media Portal
The Bellwether of Belvedere 6 of 25This green home in Belvedere, a suburb of San Francisco, puts hundreds of kilowatts of power back into the grid with energy-efficient features like solar cells, a high-efficiency boiler, a super-insulated roof, radiant floor heating, and the list goes on. The house is also largely constructed with recycled, repurposed, and/or sustainable materials — all in a way that screams "chic," not "green."

Green Is in the Details 7 of 25This coastal California home's eco-renovation earned a LEED Platinum certification — which seems only natural, considering the owner was a former energy- and climate-change policy advisor at the Environmental Protection Agency, and a founding partner of Clean Fund (which finances renewable-energy projects). The family that owns this home also teamed up with Carver + Schicketanz, a local firm specializing in modern green homes. Some of the home's many eco-features include: retractable skylights, double-pane windows, radiant heating and fan coils, and sustainable landscaping.

Aqua Liana (aka Green Giant) 8 of 25Back in 2009, property tycoon Frank McKinney made history (and headlines) by building America's first "green mansion" — a 15,000-square-foot mansion in Palm Beach, complete with floating sun terraces, a waterfall spa, and an aquarium wet bar. Although a green mansion might seem like an oxymoron, The Green Building Council and the Florida Green Building Council did, in fact, deem the property as being energy self-sufficient.
Learn more about the Green Giant on ABC's 20/20
Woodland Home 9 of 25The Woodland Home in Wales was built by the owner (with some help from family and friends) with natural materials like stone, mud, straw, and reclaimed wood. And similar to the prefab zeroHouse, these crafty builders included a wood burner for heat, a natural air cooling system, solar panels for energy, a water system that comes from a nearby spring (via gravity), and a compost toilet.

Swiss Solar House 10 of 25Originally featured on World's Greenest Homes, this 3,000-square-foot house in the Swiss Alps has solar panels lining the roof, an exterior made entirely from heat-retaining translucent glass, a pool filled with filtered water collected from the roof, and temperature-controlling concrete walls inside. In fact, this house produces and retains so much energy that it puts electricity back into the grid without any energy bill.
See the full video at World's Greenest Homes (PlanetGreen.com)
Living Roof + Waterfall A/C 11 of 25This extraordinary house in the Arizona desert uses solar collector panels as its porch awning and "micro-climate" greenery in the living space (and on the roof!) to filter the air. Having a "living roof" also cuts energy bills by keeping the house cool in the summer and insulated in the winter — a contributing factor in this house producing more energy than it uses. There's also an indoor waterfall that's used to cool the air like an air conditioner!
See the full video at World's Greenest Homes (PlanetGreen.com)
The Rotating New Paltz Dome 12 of 25This is one of the coolest houses I've ever seen — especially considering it's "environmentally clean." The shockingly spacious dome has an even more shockingly small footprint, only using a very small portion of land. But the coolest part of the house is that it actually rotates to take advantage of the sun's rays.
See the full video at World's Greenest Homes (PlanetGreen.com)
Ruin Reborn 13 of 25This eco-friendly cabin was actually built from the ruins of a dilapidated mill, originally built in the 1800s. They upgraded the inhabitable building with solar panels for power, a wood-burning stove with a built-in water boiler for heat, and plenty of windows and skylights for natural light.

The Friendly House 14 of 25This is actually a hotel in Ukraine, not a house, but it's too jaw-dropping to exclude. Ryntovt Design used ecologically harmless materials like clay, reed, and wood in the construction, and designed the eco-hotel to not only reflect nature, but communicate with its environment. It won the 2012 Hotel Of The Year award from World Architecture News.

Officina Roma (aka The Villa of Trash) 15 of 25This eco-minded villa will only stand until April 29, but it's quite the accomplishment from 24 Italian high-school kids who built this house entirely from scraps and trash in a one-week workshop. They used materials like old bottles for the kitchen, car doors as walls, and oil barrels as part of the roof.

Backyard House 16 of 25This quaint little house was named one of the winners of the 2012 Best Of Green Design award from TreeHugger.com. Built from recycled barn board with copper roofing, the designers didn't compromise the environment for comfort or function.
See the full story at Rise Over Run
Recycled Cabin 17 of 25Another winner of the Best Of Green Design awards, this one was named the Best Single Family House of 2012 — yes, for its unique design, but mostly for its recycled and eco-responsible building materials.

Vertical Forest by Stephano Boeri 18 of 25We'll feature one more winner from the TreeHugger.com Best of Green Design 2012 — this time the Best Multifamily Design. This vertical forest in Milan was constructed as a "metropolitan reforestation" project that "regenerates the environment and urban biodiversity." Not only does the tree-lined exterior look, quite literally, green, but it's designed with a specific purpose. According to the architect's website, each tower equals an area of 10.000 sqm of forest, while optimizing, recuperating, and producing energy. Acting as a microclimate, these trees filter the urban air, produce oxygen, and protect from pollution.

Finca Bellavista Rainforest Village 19 of 25Finca Bellavista — a brand new, headline-grabbing community at the base of a Costa Rican rainforest — is being called an eco-utopia for anyone determined to live a sustainable life.
Originally created to preserve the 300 acres of rainforest, this community of tree houses uses sustainable energy while offering a community garden, recycling center, and a hydroelectric turbine system that powers the entire community. And yes, there's even "Sky Trail" networks of zip lines — because what other public transportation would there be? Yet even amidst the Swiss Family Robinson-like living, there's a parking lot at the base of the community with high-speed Internet and WIFI. They might be eco-conscious, but they're not primitive. They need their Facebook just as much as anyone else.

Spains First Certified Passive House 20 of 25Architect Josep Bunyesc broke green records when he built the first certified Passive House (a standard in energy efficiency) in Spain — reducing energy usage by a whopping 90%.

The Houl Residence 21 of 25This gorgeous house in Scotland has a "sustainable [...] construction, very low energy consumption, and [is] aiming for zero net emissions of carbon dioxide for all energy use in the house." (It accomplishes this with extremely high levels of insulation, an air-source heat pump, and energy-generating wind turbine.) The house was designed to eventually export more zero carbon energy back into the national grid than was used to build it.
See more photos at at HomeDSGN
Revived Pump House 22 of 25This house's 100-year-old pump originally fed water to the fire department, and now it's used to heat and cool this entire house using water from the nearby lake. At the time this video was shot for World's Greenest Homes, the owners were planning on adding solar and wind energy as well.
See the full video at World's Greenest Homes (PlanetGreen.com)
Organic and Bioclimatic House 23 of 25The French architect Patrice Bideau designed this beautiful home to be both organic and bioclimatic, and it meets the French THPE (very high energy performance) label.
See more at HomeDSGN
Futuristic Seattle Retreat (aka PC-1) 24 of 25The owners dubbed their modern sustainable house the PC-1 for its political correctness. They used green architect Mark Haizlip to design this house that's made with local reclaimed materials, recyclable polycarbonate windows, and heat-retaining concrete floors — leading to an overall energy-saving design.
See the full video at World's Greenest Homes (PlanetGreen.com)
995 Longbow Place 25 of 25This $4 million Colorado-based mansion — built with recycled and organic materials — costs less than $350 a month to cool and heat. (A 9,500-square-foot mansion typically costs closer to $2,000 per month.) Wrap-around wall insulation and solar panels (both thermal and electric) help keep utility costs low.

"Our GSA Statewide Advocacy council trip was amazing :). We split up into legislative and administrative advocacy committees and spoke to different leaders and partner groups. We were all really nervous, but in the end it went really great. The part that touched me the most is when one of the ladies from the School Board Association said, 'Your group coming here and talking to us really made a difference.'"
- Christian Capulin, Modesto, Johansen High School
The September 29th through October 1st weekend was filled with lasting moments of team building and advocacy aprendizaje amongst 22 diverse youth leaders from schools across California selected to be a part of GSA Network's Statewide Advocacy Council (SAC). As a member of SAC, students sharpen their local and statewide advocacy skills, provide input to guide GSA Network's policy development and implementation, and coordinate advocacy-related events such as the annual GSA Advocacy and Youth
Leadership Academy (GAYLA) and Queer Youth Advocacy Day (QYAD) in the spring.
Youth leaders like Christian, many of whom are presidents of their GSAs or leaders from other youth-led organizations, spent Saturday and Sunday learning more about each other's work and best practices for building youth power through the development and disciplined practice of telling their activist stories. They worked on how to tell their stories in a constructive way that links to their local and statewide policy agenda and inspires action among their members.
Monday, students shared their stories with legislators and partner organizations like the California School Boards Association (CSBA) to stress the importance of fully implementing safe schools and smart discipline laws such as the Fair Accurate Inclusive Respectful (FAIR) Education Act and the recently passed Non-Mandatory Suspensions and Expulsions: Alternative Discipline law (Ammiano, AB 1729).
New bill ideas were discussed with legislative staff, and students discovered new administrative entities to build relationships with like the State Board of Education (SBE) and the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).
Before saying goodbye, SAC members generated bill ideas by answering the question, "If I were a legislator…what bills would I want to author?" and formed committees listed below.

The Éothéod ("horse-people"; also "horse-land") were a race of Northmen, and the ancestors of the Rohirrim.
During the Third Age, the Éothéod are first mentioned when they migrated under their King Frumgar to the confined area between the rivers Langwell and Greylin, sources of the Great River Anduin, near where the Grey Mountains met the Misty Mountains. They went that way after the fall of Angmar, away from the ravages of the Easterlings and Orcs.
Some time later their king Fram, son of Frumgar, slew the dragon Scatha. The Éothéod capital was named Framsburg in his honour. Fram's son Léod was killed trying to tame the horse Felaróf, first of the Mearas of Rohan. His son Eorl the Young tamed the horse, taking it into service as compensation for his father's life.
During the rule of the ruling Steward of Gondor Cirion, Gondor faced an attack by a new Easterling threat, the Balchoth, and Cirion sent messengers to the Éothéod capital. King Eorl answered the call for help, and rode out with most of the Éothéod to help their allies of old, leaving only a few warriors behind to protect his people. The Riders arrived just in time to help the army of Gondor at the Field of Celebrant, and after defeating the enemy Cirion asked the Éothéod to watch over the depopulated province of Calenardhon.
Three months later Cirion gave Calenardhon as a gift to Eorl and his people, and Eorl swore his Oath of eternal friendship. Messengers were sent north, and the Éothéod completely removed to the plains of Calenardhon.
The Éothéod renamed themselves Eorlingas or "followers of Eorl", but in Sindarin they became known as the Rohirrim, or Horse-lords, and their country became known as Rohan, the Riddermark.[citation needed]
The name Éothéod is a translation into Anglo-Saxon of the original Rohirric Lohtûr, Rohirric "loho-" or "lô-" corresponding to the Anglo-Saxon "éo-", meaning "horse".[citation needed]

About a year ago I was in a business class sponsored by the SBA with a bunch of other established small business owners. There were a lot of contractors and consultants and a few other manufacturers. One week our assignment was to bring in our marketing materials for the class to critique, and rate. I was sooooo sure I was gonna take the prize on this one, at DiPinto Guitars we have glossy catalogs, stickers, postcards, a pretty groovy website. We got picks and t-shirts and posters. All of which I design and implement. I was feeling pretty proud of myself.
Not only did I not get in the top 3 spots, I got roundly criticised, mostly for this:
OK, so I forget that sometimes that not everyone has a sense of irony…? You guys get it, right? (answer in the comments section)
I have to say I was surprised how the room turned on me; it was "mean and spiteful", "lack of color made it look to simplistic", "it wasn't a direct call to action", "doesn't really advertise anything" and so on. I think it's funny, and I think it does advertise something.
I'm not saying my classmates were wrong, but perhaps they didn't give me the befit of the doubt on knowing what message our audience would be receptive to. There's something about this campaign that only speaks to those who are already clued in.
My co-worker, Brian has said once or twice that if you remember the 90's you weren't there. Not entirely true, I remember bits and pieces of it. Like that time Chris and I went to see Big Chief at the Troc and this band no one ever heard of, Stone Temple Pilots, opened up. Chris even remembers the guitar player falling on his ass on stage.
But I must have noticed some other stuff too. Like this:
and this:
All of this obviously made an impression on me, and it obviously stuck too. So, I'm hoping you all think like me and this message will stick with you. And don't forget to pick up a button and some posters when you stop by the shop.

I recently took a walk off-trail at Papscanee Island in Rensselaer County, New York, taking advantage of deer trails to find my way through the thick brush. I was startled by an American Robin flushing from directly in front of me, not more than three feet away. A closer look at the location the bird flushed from revealed this:
After quickly taking a couple of pictures while the robin cluck-clucked her displeasure I retreated and waited for a few minutes, guarding against cowbirds, until the robin returned to the nest.
Good luck, egg!
And a question: If I hadn't seen any robins today but stumbled upon the nest without seeing the robin that had just flown off, and identified the egg as a robin's, could I count robin on my day-list?
an American Robin on a nest in Prospect Park, Brooklyn
This post was originally published on 6 May 2007, but we hate to keep posts this good buried in the archives! And remember to keep an eye out – it won't be long before robins are nesting.
Robins really like to put nests on top of light fixtures on porches. I bought a $60 wreath and put it on my front door for the spring that was made out of real twigs, pine needles, ground moss, and other natural things. Two days later, that wreath was picked down to the wire holding things in place and my porch light had all that wreath's material in it shaped like a bowl! I couldn't help but laugh. That mother bird was perched up there like a queen. I worry about the little birds when they get ready to fledge. I hope there are no more than 3 eggs up there because if there are, one or more little birds are going to get knocked out early. With that in mind, I may end up throwing some old towels down under that nest on the porch in a couple of weeks so they will have a soft landing. But, I am going to have to do something when this batch hatches to keep anymore birds from building there. I usually watch 3 nests a summer in strange places on my house. Bird watching can become addicting!
I too have become fascinated with watching these amazing Robins with their nesting. Mama bird is very protective. I can sit on my deck, under which her nest is built, and watch her going back and forth and warning other birds when they come around to stay back! At least another Robin is there (perhaps a male) has got her back in keeping danger away. Love to watch them!
My mom and I found an egg outside and it still seems alive…I have it in a bowl with grass all around it, and paper towels under it, it is under a lamp…I would like to see the bird live… Is there a chance of it living… It has been doing well
I moved it over to a heating pad which is little warmer 🙂 pray for the best
Hi, I found a robin's egg in the grass while walking my dog and the only tree was a super tall palm tree. I picked it up and took it home to check out some sites to see if it was alive still. It is cold and rainy. So I placed the egg at home in my scarf and then went out – when I came back to check on it I felt the heart beat through the egg shell. I don't know what to do now! I never expected it to be alive! I want to find it's nest and put it back, but if it is in that high palm tree I won't be able to. What do you suggest I do?! What happens when it hatches? What is the time frame to feed it when it hatches? Is it okay to be in my house protected just by the scarf or do I need to put a lamp on it or put it on a heating pad? I'm excited and nervous!
hi i recently noticed that the nest infront of my house and i notticed that there are three robin eggs in the nest and i was wondering because i havent seen the mom lately but the nest is like a food high and about 3 inches thick and i was wondering what to do if u could get back to me on that that would be great thanx
please can you tell me l wanna know. thank you
Corey is more patient with you people than I ever could be. Why do you post your questions if they've already been posted and answered DOZENS of times? Would it kill you to read the other posts first? And NO, you can't hatch an egg on your own, as has already been stated MANY times. Give it up already!
There is a robin laying on 4 eggs, but her nest is in a bad location… on our fence right above concrete. We have two dogs that would hurt the babies if they fell out of the nest. Should I move the nest to a more secure location or just leave it?
Hi, I am 16 and I am a Licensed bird breeder. I have hand raised many baby birds in my life. Me and my friend found a robin egg outside on the ground and not cracked. We candled it and there was nothing in it so I put it in my incubator and a few days later it started to develop. If it hatches will I be doing something illegal by keeping it?
Some Robins built a nest on the fence of our back porch. They are at about chest height. When they were building it my son (2 years old) pulled the beginnings of it down until I caught him. They finished the nest and we saw 2 eggs in it. We could see them from a few feet away as they were pretty much in plain sight. Eventually we saw 2 baby birds. One morning not 2 weeks later I looked out and saw some dried grass on the porch from the nest, part of the nest torn slightly, and the 2 birds are gone. I looked on the ground for them, but no. My dogs went nuts on the porch sniffing around, leading me to believe a raccoon got the babies. I am thinking they may try again in the same location since I was told that nests have been built in that fence for years and there have always been small children and dogs in the house. How can I keep the racoons away?
You can hatch bird eggs in your home if they are fertile. A lot of work when they hatch. You have to buy hand feeding bird food. I bought it from the local zoo. You start feeding at 6am in the morning and finish at 12 midnight every day and they are fed every two hours.
hi- i found a blue robin bird egg under a pine tree. i put i in a box and put a towel in the box. then i set the blue robin bird in and surrounded it with cotton balls. it is now a aqua color and i am checking on the bird every 5-10 minutes. will it live? am i taking good care of it? what else could i do?
hello ive been looking for a robins egg so i could make it hatch but i looked every were i cant find one!!! there are so much robins were i live but i cant find a nest or a egg help im only 11!!!!
DON'T FIND EGGS AND TAKE THEM!!!! Chances are you will take it and it will die plus its illegal! Only take an egg if its on the ground and even then its illegal. You can get sued. If you find one on the ground bring it to someone who is licensed or you get a license but you have to wait until your 13 i'm pretty sure. I have a baby bird at the moment but at least I have a license because i'm 13. Apply for a license and please don't take eggs out of nests
Have a robin's nest in my backyard. Last week, there were 2 eggs. I peeked today, and they are just GONE! not hatched, not one the ground. Don't blue jay's take eggs? I don't know what else could have happened.
My neighbor found a robin`s egg on the ground,but she also saw it fall.She doesn`t know what pushed it down,but it fell without a crack on it.I-being a HUGE wildlife lover-took it in without any kind of protest.The egg was warm when I got it.Is there even a slim chance it will survive????
I also have a lmap with two settings on it;Bright and extremely bright.What setting should I have it on?????
Oh,another FYI,I`m only 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!HELP PLEASE!
i found a robin egg on the floor in my backyard like most people i put it in a warm safe place. but i dnt think it was on the floor becuase rhe mom didnt wnt it. there was a destroyed nest a couple feet near the egg,im thinking that it fell out. what do i do????
I seen a robin built a nest behind my neighbors porch and I have been watching her come and go from my yard so she could sit on her eggs but one day I came around the back of my trailer and I noticed a big black & white bird that looked almost like a mag-pie that landed on the top of my neighbors house- then it jumped down onto their porch-then onto the ledge of their back door and then jumped onto the robin's nest and took a big blue egg out of it and then flew away– my neighbor took a look and there were no eggs left in the nest so I'm just wondering if the robin abandoned her nest as I have not seen her for the past couple of days. If someone could help me I would appreciate it…Bye for now
Hi, I found a robins nest that had fallen with two eggs still inside. My husband said that they had been there for a couple of days, and he didn't mess with them and hoped that the parents would come back for them. Well I had picked them up yesterday and brought them inside, they are cold to the touch so ill just hold them until they get warm again. I do not have any lights or incubators to keep them under so i kind of just wrapped them and cuddled them together and have them in a small birds cage. I was trying to find look up how to find out if they are alive or not and so I took them in a dark room and held a flash light up to them I did not see a bird form, all I saw was a yellow spot on the side of the egg, so I'm thinking that they may have stayed out in the sun too long and cooked. Any opinions? I really don't want to toss them out until I know for sure that they dot have a chance.
An American Robin has built a nest on my back porch. There are eggs in there that are due to hatch next week, based on the date that I noticed that eggs were in there from an empty nest. The last time I saw the Robin in the nest was 3 days ago. She hangs out in my yard, on the fence or in the tree watching over the nest. The last time I noticed that she rotated the eggs to maintain temperature was 3 days ago. I was very careful not to disturb the nest or the environment in which she built the nest in; however I did take a few pictures. One of which she swooped down at me from a nearby tree. Could she have possibly abaonded her nest, thinking that it wasn't safe anymore?
Hi was wondering how do u tell if a blue robin egg is fertile?????
First of all how can I feed a baby bird when I'm away at school? And how can I keep a egg warm without a incubator?
I found a Robin egg on the ground on Friday around 4:00ish my mom said that it might have fallen out of the nest Tuesday night during the big wind storm. When I picked it up I don't remember if it was warm or not but will it have a chance to live? I brought it home and got a shoe box and then put my rabbit fur that I got a while back around it. I have kept it as warm as possible by putting my phone underneath it at night and then putting it in the sun during the day. I have had it for about three days now and it has not turned gray. Is there still a chance for it to live? Please reply asap thank you!
Fill a cup with hot water then find a cup to put into the cup of hot water then fill the cup on the water with dirt then repeat often and put a mercury thermometer in the in the dirt and put the egg in the cup of dirt try to make sure the eggs temp is 100 to 104 degrees change water often . Hope this helps,,,,,,,
Okay I've read the posts but didn't come across anything I'm about to talk about. A robin built a nest just outside our upper level bathroom window. She lay four eggs and all four hatched. For four days there were four babies in the nest. Today when I looked there were only 2 in the nest. We looked outside on the ground and around but no babies. The older 2 birds are still there growing and changing every day. What happened to the other two? My theory another bird took them..I thought I saw a different bird standing on the edge of the nest…could it be?
I was very concerned, when the robin nest on my balcony was leff without a mother for a day and a half. It rained the one night the mother didn't come back. She is now back once again, and is now sitting on the eggs. Are the eggs still alive. There are 3.
Today. I had to take a robins nest down to save an egg from being cut down… its still in its nest as of right now.. I just sent out a email to a bird rehabilitation center what else should I dom
, I don't have a heat lamp so I wrapped up the nest in warm clothing.need helpp!
A robin built a nest in the wreath hanging on our front door. Over the course of several days 4 eggs appeared. We stopped using the front door so we wouldn't disturb her or the eggs. Today we checked the nest and all the eggs were gone. There is no sign of shells or remnants of baby birds. What happened?
I've been watching a robin sitting on her 3 eggs for days now. We went away for couple hours and just saw the nest was attacked (i guess). 2 eggs on the ground. one cracked alittle and on edge of nest. I put the egg back in nest bc it was about to fall off the branch. It had a small hole in it though. I feel so bad about what happened..nest was probably in too low a spot. Anyhow now the mama is sitting in the nest. Doesn't she realize eggs are done…or does she think the one I put back is still ok? Can the mama tell?
Hi Corey,
I've read through these first, fyi. Basically, I found a robin's egg in the loft of a barn. I picked it up thinking it was old/abandoned, simply to show my daughter. It had surprising weight to it. There is a robin's nest in the barn, live, the mother goes to and fro. I am not sure how an intact egg got into the loft, but it was VERY warm in the loft…
I got it home and checked it with a flashlight to just make sure it wasn't good. Well, there's a dark spot in the center that moves around. This freaked me out as you can imagine.
I put in a phone call to a friend who is a certified wildlife rehab person. I can't remember the correct term. In the meanwhile I am doing my best to keep it warm.
I can't return it to the location. I took it while on a cleaning job, I cleaned up all the chaff and fluff it was sitting in on the ground per the barn owner's request. I could not reach the live nest if I needed to. The owner has locked the barn and is back at his other property.
Question is, is there anything else I could or should do while waiting for my friend to phone?
Thank you.
i need help
I found a robin egg in my shed and I keep it warm but I don't know if its alive so I found something saying how many days till its sop posed to hatch so I hope it's gonna be ok
I found 3 robin eggs.I wrapped them with a tissue. I do not have an incubator.Do you have any ideas on how to keep them warm so they hatch?FYI i candled them and there was a baby bird in each of them.
We just took in a robins nest with 4 eggs. One is missing the top and the baby's beak is sticking out and the a little bloody. It has a heartbeat (we can see it the sack moving as if the heart is beating or baby is breathing). We are putting the nest under a red reptile light to keep them warm. What are the chances for the partially broken egg? Its very sad.

HAZLEHURST, Ga. - Authorities say they have arrested and charged a 46-year-old man with setting a fire that destroyed a church in southeastern Georgia.
Glenn Allen, a spokesman for Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens, said late Saturday that authorities arrested Larry Kurtz and charged him with two counts of burglary and one count of arson. He was being held in the Jeff Davis County jail.
Allen said state and county sheriff's investigators believe the suspect set the fire Saturday at St. Matthews AME church in Hazlehurst to cover up a burglary at a food bank in a separate building. The property had surveillance cameras. Allen called the fire was a "total loss."
Investigator James Atkins with the state fire marshal's office said Kurtz had recently been released from prison, but he didn't know what he had been convicted for.

Royal Princess will debut in European waters this summer, followed by Eastern Caribbean cruises in the fall. See princess.com/royalprincess.

AASM Inter-scorer Reliability is a web-based assessment system for sleep technologists and other sleep professionals who score sleep studies. Designed and operated by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the system is intended as a tool for sleep facility managers to educate their staff while fulfilling the AASM Standard for Inter-scorer Reliability.
A new sleep study record exam will become available every month. Each record exam consists of 200 continuous epochs from a sleep study patient. Users will have three months to score stages, arousals, respiratory events and limb movements for all 200 epochs.
AASM Inter-scorer Reliability received a complete system overhaul in 2012 to more closely resemble professional scoring software used in sleep facilities. The interface is designed to run full screen in an internet browser, so that the records fill the entire window. Users can examine epochs in a standard 30-second duration, or use the 120-second view to review each in the context of surrounding epochs. Mark each epoch using menu overlays or hotkeys that support both single-pass and multipass scoring approaches.
Once each exam is complete, all scoring decisions will be compared to an AASM Gold Standard Scorer. Scorers will be able to review their entire record, with the Gold Standard score also displayed. Users are then encouraged to take advantage of education opportunities offered on the AASM Inter-scorer Reliability Assessment System.
Customize your records with adjustable sensitivities and rearrangeable channels.
Mark your record using a menu-based or hotkey based scoring system.
Compare your staff to scorers from hundreds of other sleep facilities.

Theater Talk to Feature the Cast and Creative Team of CHECKERS, 11/9
In 1952, vice presidential candidate Richard Nixon, facing accusations of financial improprieties, went on national television to defend his place on Dwight D. Eisenhower's Republican ticket. The speech touched on whether Nixon had received cash gifts from supporters. Citing his family as one of modest means, he said his wife, Pat, who watching him on camera as the speech unfolded, didn't have a mink coat, just "a respectable Republican cloth coat." While he denied receiving money, there was one gift that he would refuse to return – a black-and-white dog named Checkers, loved by his daughters. The emotionally manipulative speech went down in history as the beginning of the use of television to influence public opinion, and became known as "the Checkers speech."
Writer Douglas McGrath has fashioned a dramatic portrait of Richard and Pat Nixon at that critical time in "Checkers," a new off-Broadway play at the Vineyard Theatre. McGrath is a guest on the latest edition of THEATER TALK, along with the play's director, Terry Kinney, and the two stars, Anthony LaPaglia and Kathryn Erbe. The interview premieres at 1 a.m. on Friday, November 9 (2012; early Saturday morning) on Thirteen/PBS, followed in New York City on CUNY TV* Saturday at 8:30 PM, Sunday at 12:30 PM, and Monday at 7:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 7:30 PM. The series is co-hosted by Michael Riedel of the New York Post and executive producer Susan Haskins. After broadcast, the interview can be viewed online at http://www.cuny.tv/show/theatertalk/PR2001341.
"Nixon could never hide his essential humanity – he was an unpolished, imperfect person like everyone else," says McGrath on the program, adding, "This was the first time a politician used his wife as a prop." LaPaglia notes that Nixon's "acute paranoia came from an early age – he was picked on his entire life." Pat, says Erbe, "believed in him. I think about her heart." Acting the part of Nixon, says LaPaglia, has brought on "Stockholm Syndrome – I love the guy!"
THEATER TALK is the weekly series dedicated to the world of the stage. The program is jointly produced by the not-for-profits Theater Talk Productions and CUNY TV.

Everybody loves to redecorate rooms every now and then. Is not it amazing how sometimes just a few added touches can transform a room and give it a totally different look? Its fun to add different touches to a room to bring that added touch of style and pizazz but who has the money these days to totally redecorate a room? There are all kinds of things to buy such as flooring, furniture, window fixtures, and the list goes on and on.
If your work requires you to sit behind a desk most of the time, one of your concerns is having a comfortable place to work in. This includes having an organized desk, comfortable chair, and spacious table. Having the right kind of chair is important especially if your work is stationary because sitting for a prolonged period of time can cause upper and lower back pains. Whether you are working at home or in an office, having the right kind of chair will help you last longer in your work, and if you have an incredibly uncomfortable chair you would not be as productive.

Imagine a life in the U.S. Congress
Try to imagine going to work every day and spending most of your time fighting with your colleagues.
When you aren't doing that, you are in your office reading hundreds of hate mail letters and thousands of e-mails with nothing but complaints – all of which are directed at you.
Then you pick up a morning newspaper and see your face splashed all over the front page, with headlines decrying your very existence.
You get a brief respite from the media onslaught when you attend a meeting where you stand before a board. Here, you field questions from the people who hired you.
They want to know why you are not doing your job. They say that your performance record is the worst in the history of your position.
You tell them that you are doing what you think is right, and they tell you that is not why you were hired. You were hired to do as you were told, they say. So you pacify them by saying that you will do everything you can to make sure their concerns are put to rest.
Then, instead of keeping your word, you decide that it would be in your best interests to satisfy the needs of the people who control the purse strings. Why? Because they control your destiny. Although they are a mere handful, they are the ones that count.
So you defy the chronic complainers and do what you want, with a beatific smile on your face and a spring in your step.
Although the people who do the day-to-day work that pays your salary blame you because they aren't making enough money to make ends meet, you don't care. You can always blame your colleagues for their dilemma.
"It's not my fault," you say. "I'm just one person." You know that is the lamest, most meaningless and senseless statement anyone could ever make. It is an insult to their intelligence.
But you don't care.
They can't do anything about what you do. You have your job. You have a contract, and you're going to do whatever you want.
You love your job so much that you tell the complainers to come and talk to you whenever they feel the need. You are so bold that you actually ask them for their input to help you do your job better.
Of course, you don't mean anything you say. You just invite them in to complain and let everything they say fall on deaf ears. You smile and tell them to come back any time.
You let them know that you are a vibrant and vital member of the management team that is working hard on their behalf.
I would think that the above person was not only a possible liar and a cheat, but also somewhat of a masochist. He or she just keeps coming back for more abuse, and appears to love it.
That is insane. A person who would do such things is in need of serious couch time with a very experienced and expensive shrink.
First, you have to wonder, what kind of a person would ever want such a horrible job. Anyone taking such a position must be a little sick in the head.
Then, you have to further wonder why they would go to such extremes to make certain that everybody they work for or with continues to hate them, and with an intensity that would make most people fear for their lives.
The sad thing is, you see these people every day. You read about them, listen to them, write letters to them and give them their jobs.
They are the members of Congress. They get enough people to vote them into office by making promises that they can't – or won't – keep.
As soon as their names are stenciled on their office doors, they go about the task of satisfying personal agendas – and less than 30% of the people who got them their jobs.
Why are they there? They are blamed for a failing economy, an irreparable immigration system, a broken-down healthcare system and a fast-declining educational program.
Who needs that?
Although they were hired to do so, the last thing they do is represent the desires of their constituents.
And they work for a country that incarcerates more people than any other nation on the planet, yet claims to be the "land of the free."
Welcome to life in a system you can't understand.

See all Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 9+
Spectacular, but without a real story, it might bore kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away isn't a documentary about the inner workings of Cirque performers but rather a 90-minute performance (with a framing story) featuring 3-D segments from most of the company's popular Las Vegas shows. There's little dialogue, and many of the performances are high-concept, death-defying acrobatic stunts. Some of the pieces include a bit of violence (all simulated, obviously, but they do include weapons such as spears and arrows), and a couple are focused on romance and sensuality -- especially the performance from the Cirque's "adult" show, Zumanity (which centers on a woman in a very sheer leotard), and the climactic lovers' duet.
Messages: The only theoretical "message" is that if you're meant to be with someone, no obstacle is too great to overcome.
Role models: Mia is a positive role model because she's willing to follow the object of her infatuation into another world to find him. All of the performers could also be seen as role models for their talent and abilities.
Violence: Mild simulated violence with spears and arrows in a couple of the film's set pieces.
Sex: Some scenes/pieces are sensual and even titillating. One of the performances is from the "adult" Cirque show, Zumanity, and features a woman dressed in a very sheer leotard dancing in and out of a fishbowl of water in a possibly provocative manner. The final aerial duet is beautiful, flirtatious, and very romantic; it ends in a kiss.
Language: There's barely any dialogue in the film, and none of it is strong language.
Consumerism: While it offers an entertaining look at various Cirque shows, the film could also be perceived as a 91-minute commercial for Cirque du Soleil's various high-concept shows, primarily the ones in Las Vegas. Some segments feature music from popular artists like Elvis and the Beatles.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

Location: Animal Parasitic Diseases LaboratoryTitle: New pieces of the Trichinella puzzle Author

|Zarlenga, Dante
Submitted to: International Journal for Parasitology
Publication Type: Literature Review
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/28/2013
Publication Date: 6/28/2014
Citation: Pozio, E., Zarlenga, D.S. 2013. New pieces of the Trichinella puzzle. International Journal for Parasitology. 2013 Nov; 43(12-13):983-987. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Contrary to our understanding of just a few decades ago, the genus Trichinella now consists of a complex assemblage of no less than 9 different species and 3 additional genotypes whose taxonomic status remains in flux. New data and methodologies have allowed advancements in detection and differentiation at the population level which in turn have demonstrably advanced epidemiological, immunological and genetic investigations. In like manner, molecular and genetic studies have permitted us to hypothesize biohistorical events leading to the worldwide dissemination of this genus, and to begin crystalizing the evolution of Trichinella on a macro scale. The findings of species in countries and continents otherwise considered Trichinella-free have raised questions regarding host adaptation and associations, and advanced important findings on the biogeographical histories of its members. Using past reviews as a backdrop, we have ventured to present an up-to-date assessment of the taxonomy, phylogenetic relationships and epidemiology of the genus Trichinella with additional insights on host species, survival strategies in nature and the shortcomings of our current understanding of the epidemiology of the genus. In addition, we have begun compiling information available thus far on genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and population studies of consequence in the hope we can build on this in years to come.

As every poker player knows, the key to making a bluff work is to convince your opponent you're not bluffing (hat tip to Doug Saunders).
And that's why President Obama's statement that "I don't bluff" in regards to his willingness to use force to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon in an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg released today is so apt. The truth value of the statement is in fact, unknowable.
If at some point the US intelligence establishment determines Iran is on the brink of obtaining a nuclear weapon (the current US consensus is there's no ongoing weapons-related nuclear work), and Obama is president, the strong implication of his comment is that the US would go to war. But if that day comes, there will be a host of other factors to consider, from domestic politics, to surging oil prices, to the potential strains on US alliances.
A cost-benefit calculation will be made. And yes, Obama or any other president will consider containment as an option, depending on if and when the day comes. Obama insisted to Goldberg that containment as a policy is off the table "because you're talking about the most volatile region in the world. It will not be tolerable to a number of states in that region for Iran to have a nuclear weapon and them not to have a nuclear weapon. Iran is known to sponsor terrorist organizations, so the threat of proliferation becomes that much more severe."
Those are real concerns. And it makes sense to insist that there's a red line for the Iranians as Obama and European allies continue to use sanctions and negotiation to bring Iran's nuclear program under stronger outside oversight. But that's just being a good poker player. There is always some ambiguity. Or as Obama told Goldberg: "I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don't bluff. I also don't, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are."
Poker metaphors have also been in full flow about the jockeying between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who's due in Washington over the weekend for the annual meeting of AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobbying group, and a state visit with the president.
Though Obama may be leader of a superpower and Netanyahu the leader of a small Middle Eastern country, the Israeli premier casts a long shadow on US politics. He's been seeking to pry an iron-clad promise from Obama that the US will in fact attack Iran if it nears a nuclear weapon, and the AIPAC conference is expected to largely focus on the Islamic Republic, which Netanyahu and many Israelis view as the biggest threat to their security.
Aluf Benn's piece today in Israel's left-leaning Haaretz is headlined "Netanyahu and Obama play high-stakes poker over Iran." Mr. Benn writes: "On Monday, Netanyahu will meet President Barack Obama in the White House for a game of diplomatic poker, where the greatest gamble of all will be right on the table: an attack on Iran's nuclear installations. Each of the two players will try to push the other to act."
Benn, calling the trip the "most important one in [Netanyahu's] long career" writes that the Israeli leader has amassed a hefty stack of chips at the table. "For three years, Netanyahu has been preparing for this very moment. During this period, he has chalked up for himself a diplomatic coup that initially was seen as unimaginable: He has managed to turn the superpower's political agenda upside-down - from "Palestine first" to "Iran as top priority.""
Writing in the hawkish Jerusalem Post, Jay Bushinsky says Obama will lean hard on Netanyahu to avoid an attack on Iran, at least for now. "Obama may oppose any kind of military operation before the presidential election in November because it may cost him votes if the results are unsatisfactory or unimpressive," he writes. "[Obama's] thinking may be influenced in part by the principle that one always knows when and how a bilateral conflict began, but one never knows when and how it will come to an end."
Netanyahu, for his part, sought to turn up the heat of war talk ahead of his arrival in Washington. Speaking in Ottawa, he called international talks with Iran a "trap" that will do nothing to deter it from the pursuit of nuclear weapons. Iran "could pursue or exploit the talks as they've done in the past to deceive and delay so that they can continue to advance their nuclear program and get to the nuclear finish line," he said after meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He also appeared to insist that Israel reserves the right to conduct a strike on Iran, with or without US approval. "Like any sovereign country, we reserve the right to defend ourselves against a country that calls and works for our destruction," he said.
Meanwhile, US-led sanctions on Iran continue to be taking a toll. The Noor Islamic Bank of Dubai, a financial institution close to the emirate's ruling family that was one of Iran's major international financial lifelines, recently cut Iran off at the behest of US officials. Undersecretary of the Treasury David Cohen said at the end of last month that Iran's currency, the riyal, is "plummeting" and has lost half its value since September. These are real pressures on the regime in Tehran, and Obama is probably going to give them a good long while to before he gives up on them.
So expect more hawkish calls and threats of looming war at this weekend's AIPAC conference. Expect Obama to continue to insist that "all options are on the table." But remember that there's plenty of bluster in international diplomacy, and the shooting's probably a long way from getting started.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King College women's soccer team and multiple players from King's 24 athletic teams took time out of their busy fall season to serve the local community over the last weekend of September. The players and coaches participated in a 5k fundraising event held at Warrior's Path State Park in Kingsport, Tenn. to help raise awareness for mitochondrial disease and support local five-year-old Cooper Castle who lives with the ailment.
The event ran all day on Saturday, Sept. 29, with several fun activities for runners to participate in before the race began. The players helped serve, coordinate, and manage these activities before competing themselves in the 5k race. Women's Soccer freshmen Kara Montgomery won the event and Keely Easterling followed close behind in third place, but it was not about winning on this day.
The women's soccer team was joined in the effort by the entire men's volleyball team and many players from the men's soccer program.
Women's Soccer Assistant Coach Danny McBride, who has developed a relationship with the Castle family through the Youth Soccer Association in Kingsport, said, "This was an incredible opportunity for our girls, and I know they had great fun on Sunday.
"The Castles amazing people whom I have got to know very well since coaching Cooper and his older brother, Jackson, last fall. I wanted to be able to help out in any way possible."
McBride also stated, "I'm really thankful that our girls, the men's volleyball team, and the men's soccer team jumped at the chance to represent King in the community while running this race for a great cause. I'm also thankful to [men's basketball] Coach Pitts and [swimming and diving] Coach Connor for their contributions. Our athletic programs here at King are about more than just winning championships and it's great to see these teams showing a willingness to prove that. There's no doubt we will be involved again next year."
Mitochondrial diseases are those that are genetically inherited and affect the functionality of mitochondria, organelles that generate energy and are integral for the operation of a person's cells. About one in 4,000 children in the United States will develop mitochondrial disease by the age of 10 years. Up to 4,000 children per year in the U.S. are born with a type of mitochondrial disease.
For more information on mitochondrial disease or how you can help the effort in finding a cure, visit the web site for the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, www.umdf.org.

Macho Archbishop
Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois of Paris is the "macho [man] of the year," according to a French feminist group (see the AFP report).
The cardinal won the title for saying it was difficult to find women who are properly trained for church jobs: "It's not enough to have a skirt, you have to have something between your ears as well."
While the organization is "one of France's most outspoken women's groups" (it's name would be censored here), I agree with them that the archbishop is wrong his statement.
He later explained "that people are not accepted [hired, I assume] into the church depending on their gender but on their personal ability." Great, so that means that the reason women aren't in more leadership positions (as laypeople, setting aside the priesthood issue) is because they aren't as smart or able as men.
Forget the possibility of discrimination, or even the thought that some women might be turn off by working for the church. The implication of both the original statement and the clarification is the same: Women aren't good enough.

text: On 4 February 2006, Zoliswa Nkonyana was brutally murdered in Khayeltisha, Cape Town. A group of young men stabbed, clubbed, kicked and beat her to death. Zoliswa was 19 years old and lived openly as a lesbian. For this, she lost her life. She died only metres from her home. The court case – which has been ongoing for more than five years - against nine of the men who stand accused of murdering her is finally scheduled to be concluded. We have been informed by the Magistrate that the verdict will be delivered when the trial reconvenes from 7 - 9 September 2011 at the Khayelitsha Magistrate's Court.
